pigeon blasting

[Duane@ssu]

I got a guy comin tues, so I wanted to "knock the dust out".
I shot these pigeons after work today, 100 to 350 yards. Shot some solids just for fun.

Looks like fun, and glad to see spotlight out and about.

I have shot several pigeons with a 222.
I am suprised you had enough left over to photograph

oh yea

NICE SHOOTING!!!! pigeons are just rats with wings

Pigeons are fun targets. We don't have many here in my neck-of-the-woods, but I've shot them in other places years ago.

Nice going, and quite a distance on some.

 

[Duane@ssu]

I hate them!!!! Even worse, is that I came back to the yard tonite, and there are a dozen in the feedlot.
I have a neighbor that raises them, and turns them loose, they all come to my outfit, so I HAVE TO DEAL WITH THEM !

 

[yfzduner450]

Tell them "homing" pigeons to go back home!!

Absolutely hate these flying rats. I use one of the high precision airguns to deal with them. Killed hundreds...More than often I can use this in places where the use of firearms of any types is prohibited. Out to 100 meters it shows no mercy...and it's quiet.

Hey Ambush
That is a trick lookin air gun!!What brand is that??What is your fill pressure? What pellet?

 

[Ambush Hunter]

Thanks. This one is .177 Weihrauch HW100T (Germany). Regulated.
3000 psi. 50 super consistent shots off a single fill.
Best pellet is 10.6 grain H&N Baracuda running at 22 FPE @ muzzle. Pigeons only need 3-4 FPE on the impact to die.

 

[Duane@ssu]

Gun fire is not an issue here, I don't have an air gun, but the centerfires do the trick.
